how long does it take to dry regular nail polish?

I only use regular polish and don't actually time it. I usually use the dryer for 2-3 minutes and they're tacky, but I dryunder the dryer after each coat. Then when I'm finished I put on Quik dry. I no longer work so I have the advantage of time.

I use a sticky base coat... You can find it at almost any beauty supply store. Put a nice coat on the nail, let dry about 15 to 20 seconds. Lay a piece of the foil on the nail and press down. Slowly peel the plastic off the nail, to finish add a top coat top the nail. It may take a few practice nails to get the hang of it but it's fun.

Yes! It's clear! I actually use it over normal non-gel nail color and then put it under the lamp and I get about 1.5 weeks of wear out of the polish and it soaks off in about 3 minutes. That's WAY faster than removing gel nail color PLUS gel topcoat, and less damaging to the nail itself. (I've even gotten a solid 2 weeks without chipping...same as normal gel through and through....so it's just a thought!)

I have been using this product for 4 wks ,Phase 1-Treatment, and my toe nails are just starting to clear up. The directions on the box says that after 4 weeks, the Protection Phase (9months) begins applying once a week for 9 months. During the Phase 1 treatment you had to file down your nails in order for the liquid treatment to penetrate. I would think that you would not want to use nail polish because it will seal off the nail and prevent Phase II from protecting you against another fungal infection. Just a thought.

it takes about an hour to do. I do two curing time settings on each coat and the last coat after curing, I take a brush and dip it in nail polish remover and coat the nails and then cure it two more times. it takes the sticky ness away

It does, but not as quick. I would leave it in for like 10 mins. on each hand. If you are wanting a quick polish dry. I usually get the polish dry air cans at your local CVS, in their nail department/make-up department. Dries right after you spray. With a 2 minute no touch set. Lightly touch on your nail if its still a little bit tacky when you use it for regular nail polish. I still have mine to this day xx

I usually use an electic nail file to file it off of the top, then I soak off the polish underneath. If you do not have a electric nail file then you can use a regular file, it will take a bit longer.

I use the UV nail dryer...2 minutes per coat... Just like the ones in the nail spas.

No. Use a small fan to dry regular polish. OR you can apply a coat of gel base and dry with the UV lamp. THEN apply a coat (or 2) of regular polish. Once the regular Polish is COMPLETELY dry (again - AIR dry regular polish), you can apply a gel top coat and dry with the UV lamp. I personally haven't tried this method, but I've read that this can be done when someone wants to use regular polish to extend the life of their mani. But make sure the coat of regular polish is completely dry! I hope this was helpful. :)

You apply with a rag in small sections and floor should dry 45 minutes to an hour. It looks great when first applied. If your using in a kitchen water marks leave white rings, rubber soled shoes leave marks and it's basically a mess. I bought the polish remover after scrubbing the floor with ammonia mixture and working my fingers to the bone. Save yourself the time and money. Horrible product !

45 seconds? If your using the light that came in the box the time varies from 1-2 minutes. Also, make sure u use the blue liquid once your done it helps harden your nails or you can use alcohol!

U have to set it with a clear nail resin and it just depends on how you care for your nails , if I am working a day maybe 2 but if I am off 3 or 4 days it takes them well over a hour to dry completely .

No you can use the same nail polish before it dry. I put it on my nails and it last for about two weeks and I went to the beach.

not only must you have the base coat and the top coat but you also must have the uv light to dry it. I tried to dry without the light, will never dry. basic steps: use alcohol/soap to clean oils off of nails, apply base coat, apply color, uv light for 1.5 minutes, apply top coat, uv light for 1.5 minutes, then use alcohol to swab the nails or else it will look matte colored and be a bit gooey, done.

you have to use acetone polish remover, saturate a cotton ball, wrap the cotton ball on top of each fingernail and hold on with a piece of tin foil for about 15-20 minutes or you can soak your finger nails in the bowl of acetone polish remover then use a peeler what is like a nail file with a round edge, you can scrape it off slowly it should come off quite easily if not then re-soak.
